National Highways Authority Of India [NHAI] — harassment at bhawdin toll plaza for local residents within 20kms

Address:

125055

It is submitted that there is a bhawdin toll plaza on nh 9 which has come to operation last month. It is situated in sirsa district, haryana and i am residing at village sangha, dist - mansa, punjab which is around 10 to 11 kms from toll plaza. Every time when we the residants of sangha and nearby villages have to cross the toll plaza on our way to sirsa we are being harassed by the staff. Either they don't have proper knowledge of the rules for the local residents residing within 20 kms from the toll plaza or they are making excuses for generating more revenue.
After arguing for the long time with the staff that we are local residents and want a pass for our vehicle, we are told that you are residing in punjab so your pass can't be made or we are said that your vehicles don't bear the number of "hr 24" (Sirsa) so you have to pay the full toll every time you cross the plaza.in reference to the the gazette of india extraordinary part 2, section 3 page no 8 it is clear that we can be availed with the pass for local residents. So you are requested to please look into the matter so that the people of villages nearby the plaza don't get harassed and cheated. Looking for your response and best efforts to resolve the issue.
